Hong Kong Queen Elizabeth II Definitive

Hong Kong · 1962 · 10c

This definitive stamp features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, facing right, based on a photograph by Dorothy Wilding. The design is framed by a simple, elegant border with the country name 'HONG KONG' at the top and the denomination '10c' at the bottom. The carmine-rose color is characteristic of this particular value in the series.

Issued during the British colonial period, this stamp is part of the widely used Wilding definitive series, which was the first series of Queen Elizabeth II's reign and was used across many Commonwealth nations.
